Hello!
CLN version 1.1.8 is out and available from the usual FTP site [0]. It incorporates a fix for a long standing bug recently discovered by Niklas Knutsson and it finally has working support for the AMD64 platform, a.k.a. the Opteron.
The reason for this broad advertisement is that whilst revamping the GiNaC mailing lists, Christian Bauer has been so kind to set up a list dedicated to CLN. It's powered by Mailman and you can find information on how to subscribe at [1]. Recently, it has become somewhat popular to use the GiNaC mailing lists for CLN related topics. While this has brought some liveliness to those lists we should try to use cln-list@ginac.de instead from now on. I do not intend to continue with selective announcements - from now on the list will be used instead and it is recommended that you subscribe if your interest is fervent. :-)
Regards -richy.
